docs: #265/#166 - ledger updates and capture-bisect as-fixed addendum

Browse source 
docs/ISSUES.md: #265 and #166 updated with the root cause and fix from
the prior two commits; closure of both pends the user's visual-gate
acceptance. #265 also records the confirmed-separate uphill-bounce
finding (AD-25, byte-exact retail, out of scope). #166 records that the
Campaign P visual-matrix recheck it was waiting on DID happen and found
the glide/bounce still missing even with AD-25/AP-7/AD-55/TS-4 all
landed - that negative result is what triggered the #265 capture bisect
and this fix.

docs/architecture/retail-divergence-register.md: AP-7's retirement note
corrected. The row's original claim ("no horizontal velocity to hammer")
undersold the gap - calc_friction was structurally unreachable with
meaningful data on any grounded path, not just inert on the root-motion
path. No new row filed: this change ports retail's mechanism faithfully
and does not introduce a new deviation.

docs/research/2026-07-30-265-capture-bisect.md: full "as-fixed" addendum
(new section 9) recording the implementation - the fix mechanism, fixture
results (freeze reproduced under the old model, slide+decay proven under
the new one), the downhill-direction derivation for the synthetic decay
case, the two separate mechanisms found while building the Runtime tests
(LeaveGround's edge-timing recompute, AP-77's no-sink fallback), the
uphill-bounce orthogonality proof, and final test totals.

Both gaps are now closed: `PlayerMovementController.cs`'s grounded block no longer reconstructs `Velocity` for the animation-root-motion case, and `PhysicsEngine.cs` syncs `body.GroundNormal` from the committed `ContactPlane.Normal` at the same commit point that already publishes `ContactPlane`. The 0.25f threshold port itself (this row's original subject) was always correct — it just had nothing real to operate on until this fix.

| ~~AP-10~~ | **RETIRED 2026-07-30 (Campaign P Slice P4) — the retail 0.1 m dry-corner water sink-in is restored.** `TerrainSurface.SampleWaterDepth` (`src/AcDream.Core/Physics/TerrainSurface.cs`) now returns 0.1 for a partially-water cell's dry corner instead of the collapsed 0. The row's own "destabilizes the touch check" justification turned out to be structurally true of retail too (a skipped `SetContactPlane` reassertion is not a fall in ANY of retail/ACE/acdream, because `Contact`/`OnWalkable` are STICKY — `PhysicsEngine.ResolveWithTransition`'s `onGround` computation ORs the fresh per-call `ContactPlaneValid` with the seeded, persistent `PhysicsBody.TransientState.OnWalkable` bit) — traced and confirmed in this slice; see `docs/research/2026-07-29-remote-and-world-specials-pseudocode.md` §5.2. `PhysicsEngine.SampleTerrainWalkable`'s `isWater = waterDepth >= 0.45f` threshold means the restore does not flip the dry corner's water classification (0.1 still < 0.45) — only the sink-in depth changes.
